I bet Delaware wishes it looked into joining the MAC instead of CUSA - especially since UMASS has joined. Much closer conference opponents in the MAC. I wonder if WKU is still hoping to get into the MAC?

Good for CUSA. I thought for sure this conference was going to disband during the last round of conference realignment. Much of their credit they came up with a game plan and it seems to be working out for them.

They do not, no. They do not view that area as a fit on several levels.

With 136 teams now, we need at least 5 or 6 new bowl games!

I bet they don’t.

So what does Missouri State know that @Rufus @Patman and @John don't know? All we hear from the doom and gloomers is that there will only be a P2 and everyone else might as well shut their athletic program down. But Missouri State is upgrading. Why?

Nelson thinks UConn's ceiling is being tied at the hip with schools like Seton Hall and Providence. Sad that he doesn't recognize the obvious potential in Storrs.

You really like to put words in people's mouths. I have never said there will only be a P2. You twist the words of what people post. Not just me, but with many posters on here. No wonder no one likes you on here.

because theres no difference between G5 and FCS in the long run... but you're smart enough to know that

Easy answer.

G5 is the new FCS. Those that are serious about staying in the second highest level are moving up.
